Ministers
of Hospitality:
These people help with the celebration of Eucharist. They warmly
welcome all the people who come to worship by greeting them at the
doors of the church. They hand out the weekly parish bulletins,
help with the collections, the presentation of bread and wine, and
the flow of traffic in and out of the church. If interested in joining,
call Parish Office at (408) 264-3600.
Ministers
of Music:
We have music at all our Masses. Symbols, signs and stories are
intrinsic to Christian worship, and the art of the musician touches
all these elements of liturgy. Each music group has its own practice
time and schedule. If you are a musician or like to lead in song,
please call Parish Office at (408) 264-3600.
Altar Servers:
Girls and boys, 10 years and older, help the presiding celebrant
at the altar. We are all called to Ministry, so it is wonderful
that young boys and girls can live and express their faith through
this special ministry of service. If interested in joining, please
call the Parish Office (264-3600).
Ministers
of the Word or Lectors:
These Ministers process
in with the Word of God after welcoming the community with the opening
announcements and the call to greet one another. They are trained
to proclaim the Word of God, to gather the prayers and petitions
of the assembly and
to make the final announcements that indicate the activities of
the Church Community during the week. If interested in joining,
call Parish Office at (408) 264-3600.
Ministers
of the Eucharist:
Women, men, and youth of our community assist the Presider
with serving the Body and Blood of Christ to those receiving Communion,
and with extending a blessing to little children and to those who
may not be receiving Communion. If interested in joining, call Parish
Office at (408) 264-3600.
Ministers
of Environment and Art in Liturgy:
Artistic parishioners help plan, create and assemble different environments
and art forms such as banners, vestments, altar linens and liturgical
symbols. They work closely with liturgy planners to coordinate with
the theme of the different liturgical seasons. If interested in
helping and joining, call Parish Office (408) 264-3600.
Ministers
of Altar Care:
Each week people involved in this ministry care for the altar linens
and vestments. Ministers serve on a monthly basis in teams to dust
and clean the sacristies, altar, chapel and sanctuary in preparation
for weekend Eucharistic celebrations. If interested in helping and
joining, please call Parish Office at (408) 264-3600.
Ministers
of the Sacristy:
Each week people involved in this ministry care for items needed
for the celebration of Eucharist and other liturgical functions.
This includes taking inventory, the setting up and maintenance of
worship items. They come to the office Thursday afternoon and bring
any articles needed for weekend worship from the office to the church
and then return used items back to the office on Monday. If interested
in helping, please call Parish Office (408) 264-3600.
Bread Ministry:
Come join us in our bread ministry that started in 1981 at Transfiguration. Bring your
heart and hands to the ministry of baking altar bread for our eucharistic
celebrations. Contact Parish Office at (408) 264-3600 to find out
more about this ministry or if you wish to be a part of it.
Rosary Group:
This group meets on Fridays at 7:15 p.m. In honor of Mary, the Blessed
Mother of Jesus Christ, we offer the rosary. This is an ongoing
Parish prayer devotion, to which everyone is invited. November through
Lent, in the Fireside Room. Easter to October, in the Grotto area
by Mount Tabor Hall. For more information, call the Parish Office at
(408) 264-3600.
